She weaves into the renditions textual interludes for clarity, restores the names of personas otherwise denoted by their roles in the plays, and uses contemporary language to help the reader relate to the characters and contexts, while faithfully capturing the lyrical beauty in the texts in all its charm and intricacy. In doing so, she refreshes the tradition of Kalidasa's translations, and invites one and all to savour these absolute literary delights.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the end, as we enter the world of Kalidasa, his world too enters ours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789369895205\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.5 x 5.7 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50752616464688,"sku":"Prakash_9789369895205","price":480.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71yiAc2eCxL.jpg?v=1770705666","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/kalidasa-selected-poetry-and-drama","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
